With alot of the more obscure 1950's shows coming out on dvd I hope someone picks up Sea Hunt. I buy season sets of this in a heartbeat.
Those are 'boots. You'll see two or three different versions of particular set running around all over the place. :frowning:BobSchneider said:If you go on ebay and type in Sea Hunt dvd it comes up with a four volume set from a guy who "current owns the copyright" on sea hunt. I'm looking for reviews of the set but no luck so far.
Watching my "Canadian Alternates" I noticed the end of the each show featured LLoyd saying a plug about skin diving and safety. A similar plug for skydiving is seen at the end of another ZIV series, Ripcord. I'd GLADLY purchase an official release of each show if they were to come out, MOD or Pressed!LeoAmes said:Ran through this recently on This TV. Excellent series and I'd love to be able to purchase season releases of it on DVD. Manages to largely escape appearing cheap at every turn like some of their other titles like Highway Patrol do.
Sometimes wonder just how much good this did for skin diving though. Watching Sea Hunt, you'd be led to believe there's some frogman behind every rock with a knife just waiting for a innocent diver to wander by to knock off.
lol
The problem I have with TGG is how they are putting things out, not in season sets, but big chunks. It's going to lead to odd-number count boxes - there's 155 Episodes of Sea Hunt, and 107 episodes of Bat Masterson. There's no way they can do all uniform sized content boxes.LouA said:For those who are interesed in owning Sea Hunt on DVD, a company called TGG Direct will be issuing 60 episodes on DVD this fall. The release is being called "Sea Hunt : a 24 Hour Marathon". This according to a post on the TV On DVD Site. There will be a similar release devoted to Bat Masterson. While it doesn't seem like these multi -disc sets will contain complete seasons , it will still be nice to have both of these shows on DVD.
Going by the In The Heat of the Night box, no. These boxes are just random episodes from all unreleased seasons of the shows... at least in the case of In The Heat of The Night. There are no episodes from the first season release, but the rest of the episodes are just random ones from the remainder of the run.DeWilson said:The problem I have with TGG is how they are putting things out, not in season sets, but big chunks.

Are the "60" episodes even in sequence?
Season sets are the standard for TV on DVD releases. Consumers are accepting and appreciative of this. Why at this stage of the game we have companies, especially the smaller ones, that seem oblivious to this, I don't understand. Maybe there is a reason, but what is it? I would like to have both of these shows, but what do I get with these releases. 24 hour marathon? - that doesn't mean anything to me for a DVD release.Originally Posted by DeWilson /t/281737/sea-hunt#post_3978873

I'd even be accepting of these "24 hour marathon" releases as long as they included the episodes in broadcast or production order.ChrisALM said:Season sets are the standard for TV on DVD releases.

I don't mean to come across as overly critical - just why can't we get these released as season sets or a complete series?
